A non-post about a non-meme

So since I haven't been able to think of anything interesting or funny about which to write, I figured I'd post a meme, at least. I started looking for one but I'm getting nowhere. I think I take memes too seriously, but really, why post one if all the answers are "I don't know" or "couldn't say" or something equally unenthralling?

For example, the first one I ran across started out with "Describe your first kiss". Well, hell, I don't remember! I really don't. I don't remember my first kiss, when or under what circumstances, and have no idea as to the identity of the hot young hunk o'man love that delivered it, which I guess is both good and bad. On the one hand, you'd think something like that would be more memorable, but on the other, I suppose nothing too horrible or traumatic or embarassing happened or it would stick out more.

It went on to ask, "If you could relive your life, what would you do differently?" At first muse, one heck of a lot of things. But if I have to narrow it down, my death. Whatever kills me, I wouldn't do that again.

"When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?" A ballerina, for a while, but once it became obvious that I would be too tall (and large-thighed) to be good at it, I switched to wanting to write. Which I guess I do, and that ought to be a lesson to you all. What I meant was, write and get paid for writing. Got to be more specific with them childhood dreams (see "do overs", above).

So I tried switching to a music meme but I wasn't any better at those questions. "What's the last CD you bought?" I'm not sure. I'm not sure I could narrow it down to the last batch.

I tried another one found through Live Journal with similarly unspectacular results. "Describe your most embarassing moment". Honestly, I can't think of anything. Not that I've never embarassed myself - I have, and I've written about much of it here - and sure, there have been plenty of moments when I wanted to just sink into the floor and disappear, but nothing truly soul-warping, nothing that would be the pivotal scene in a Movie-of-the-Week showing how I turned from mild-mannered accountant to serial killer. I never walked into the prom with a huge long train of toilet paper stuck on my shoe, never realized after a class presentation that my blouse was unbuttoned...I forget people's names, I do stupid stuff, but most of it's your run-of-the-mill brain-fart moments, nothing that really stands out as a pivotal moment of embarassment grandeur and certainly nothing that makes for good blog fodder.

I'll do this last one, which is not, necessarily, interesting or good reading.

THE RULES:
1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

"I needed a big laugh, too, because of last night’s hockey game." See? Totally not the stuff of which Pulitzers are made.
